Daniel Sunjata stars as a talented young ball player who outs himself much to the surprise and disgust of his team members, his coach (pictured, Joe Lisi) and the media in Take Me Out

In the play, Darren Leeming (Sunjata), a young and popular baseball star at the top of his game, calls a press conference and, without telling anyone what he is about to do, comes out to the media. Not surprisingly, there is considerable fall out. Take Me Out, which also features Denis O'Hare, Kevin Carroll and Dominic Fumusa, opens Sept. 5 at the Public Theater.
